		<title>Cold wars report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I haven&#8217;t been blogging much, because I&#8217;ve been keeping pretty busy. High points so far:

Played in a 5150 (by Two Hour Wargames) game. As the name suggests, it is a pretty quick system, but I&#8217;d argue that it was only so quick because half the people knew how to play, and it is *very* bloody. [...]

		<title>Fallout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I finally finished playing through the original fallout (bought for $6 from gog.com). Totally worth it. Very, very good game.
I should note that it runs just fine under wine (tested: 1.1.31 aka the one which ships with Ubuntu 9.10).
Oh, and for the curious, the maintainers of the WineHQ AppDB drop &#8220;old&#8221; versions of Wine, without [...]

1.) Note that you likely want to create a separate partition for machines and put the machines there.
2.) apt-get install lxc debootstrap
(Note &#8211; this is pretty inefficient in terms of space. The lxc setup does allow for read-only mounts of things. So, it can have its own /etc and html docs [...]

		<title>Windows task manager vs ps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So, I was fiddling with java stuff at work the other day, and was struck by just how useless windows task manager is.
When running several:
java -jar something.jar
GNU ps actually shows which is which, because it includes the name of the jar file.
Windows just shows javaw.exe for all of them, so you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re [...]

		<title>Punditry: Shooty things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Okay, to recap: Heller says that the FedGov can&#8217;t ban guns in common use, or that are logical evolutions of the arms required to be kept for militia purposes. DC is forced to open up their gun registry, but the registry is not abolished. There is suggestion that registration of arms may be reasonable, but [...]

Win.
(More to come. I&#8217;ll also be updating the community docs once I have all the kinks ironed out.)

		<title>Force carbonating soda at home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
These things are neat. The flavors pretty well suck, but using a fruit juice concentrate or some lime juice or something is quite nice.

		<title>Is network mounted /usr/local obsolete?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It used to be that, back in the day, /usr/local was an NFS mount on a central server, with appropriate trickery so that each machine got the correct binaries for its architecture. This allowed for reduced storage requirements, plus easy upgrades of new applications. I question if this is an idea which has basically become [...]

		<title>Do you have your tickets&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
to the gun show?
Lizzy, my father in law and I went to the Saratoga gun show today. Of note:

Ammo prices to be back down to reasonably sane levels.

Several vendors had black rifles, with prices being reasonable. New SR 556 and Sig 556 rifles were in the $1500 range. I didn&#8217;t see a Sig 516, but [...]
